should be optimized for the composition being developed et 21 and Chang et Pharm A lyophilization cycle in one of primary and secondary drying Phil Trans R Soc Ser Biol In the freezing the solution is cooled to initiate ice this slop induces the crystallization of the bulking The ice sublimes the primary which is conducted by reducing chamber pressure below the vapor pressure of the using a vacuum and introducing heat to promote adsorbed or bound water is removed at the secondary drying stage under reduced chamber pressure and at an elevated The process produces a material known as a iyophilized Thereafter the cake can be reconstituted with either sterile or suitable diluent for j The lyophilization cycle not only determines the final physical state of but also affects other

be used to understand and optimize the lyophilization The glass transition temperature can provide information about the physical slate of a solute and be determined by differential scanning calorimetry Tg and are an important parameter that must be taken into account when designing the lyophilization For is important for primary in dried the glass transition temperature provides information on the storage temperature of the final Excipients in general Excipients are additives that are included in a formulation because either imparl or enhance the delivery and manufacturability of a drug Regardless of the reason for their excipients are an integral component of a drug product and therefore need to be safe and tolerated by For protein choice of excipients is particularly important because they can affect both efficacy and tmmunogcnicity of the protein formulations need to be developed with appropriate selection of excipients that afford suitable and A iyophilized formulation is usually comprised of a a bulking and a utility of a surfactant may be evaluated and selected in cases where aggregation during the lyophilization step or during reconstitution becomes an An appropriate buffering agent is included to maintain the formulation within stable zones of pH during A comparison of the excipient components in liquid and lyophilized protein formulations is provided Table Excipient components of lyophilized protein formulations The principal challenge in developing formulations for therapeutic proteins is stabilizing the product

in et Compendium of Excipients fir Parenteral Formulations PDA Buffers j The stability of a protein drug is usually observed to be maximal in a narrow pH This pH range of optimal stability needs to be identified early during formulation Several approaches such as accelerated stability studies and calorimetric screening studies have been demonstrated to be useful in this endeavor et Once a formulation is the drug product must be manufactured and maintained within a predefined specification throughout its are almost always employed to control pH in the Organic phosphates and Tris have employed routinely as buffers in protein formulations The buffer capacity of the buffering species is maximal at a pH equal to the pKa decreases as pH increases or decreases away from this Ninety percent of the buffering capacity exists within one pH unit of its Buffer capacity also increases proportionally with increasing buffer Several factors need to be considered when choosing a First and Lhe buffer species and its concentration need to be defined based on its and the desired formulation Equally important is to ensure that the buffer is compatible with the protein other formulation and does not catalyze any degradation polyanionic carboxylate bufers such as citrate and succinate have been shown to form covalent adducts with the side chain residues of A third important aspect to be considered is the sensation of stinging and irritation the buffer may For citrate is known to cause stinging upon injection cl Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol The potential for stinging and irritation is greater for drugs that are administered via the SC or where the drug solution remains at the site for a relatively longer period of time than when administered by the route where the formulation gets diluted rapidly into the blood For formulations that are administered by direct the total amount of buffer other formulation needs to be One has to be particularly careful about potassium ions administered in the form of the potassium phosphate which can induce cardiovascular effects in a patient et Physician Buffers for formulations need additional Some buffers like sodium phosphate can crystallize out of protein amorphous phase during freezing resulting in rather large in Other common buffers such as acetate and imidazole should be avoided since they may sublime or evaporate during the thereby shifting the pH of formulation during lyophilization or after Table Commonly used buffering agents and their values The buffer system present in the compositions is to be physiologically

is an amino acid or mixture of amino In one the pH buffering agent is histidine or a mixture of amino acids one of which is The pH buffering compound may be present in any amount suitable to maintain the pH of the formulation at a predetermined in one when the pH buffering agent is an amino the concentration of the amino acid is between mM and one the pH buffering agent is at least 1 1 or 900

formulations to enhance product elegance and to prevent Conditions in the formulation are generally designed so that the bulking agent crystallizes out of the frozen amorphous phase during freezing or annealing above the giving the cake structure and Mannitol and glycine are examples of commonly used bulking j include a class of compounds that can serve as cryo and glass forming Cryoproteclants act to stabilize proteins during freezing or in the frozen state at low temperatures Good Pharmaceutical Buffalo Lyoprotectants stabilize proteins in the solid dosage form by preserving the conformational properties of the prolcin during dehydration of Glassy state properties have been lied as or depending on their relaxation properties as a function of It is important that and glass forming agents remain in the same phase with the protein in order to impart and polyols fall into this category can sometimes serve all three Polyols encompass a class excipients that includes and other polyhydric alcohols glycerol and propylene The polymer polyethylene glycol is included in this Polyols are commonly used as stabilizing excipients isotonicity agents in both liquid and parenteral protein With respect to the the polyols are kosmolropic and are preferentially excluded from the protein Polyols can protect proteins from both physical and chemical degradation Preferentially excluded increase the effective surface tension of solvent at the protein interface whereby the most energetically favorable protein conformations are those with the smallest surface Mannitol is a popular bulking agent in Iyophilized formulations because it crystallizes out of the amorphous protein phase during lending structural stability to the cake Leukine Enbrel is generally used in combination with a cryo lyoprolectant like Because of the propensity of mannitol to crystallize under frozen sorbitol and sucrose are the preferred tonicity in liquid formulations to protect the product against stresses encountered during transport or when freezing bulk prior to Sorbitol and sucrose are far more resistant to and therefore less to phase separate from the protein is interesting to note that mannitol has been used in tonici lying amounts several marketed liquid formulations such as and the product labels of these drugs Not The use of reducing sugars free aldehyde or ketone such as glucose and lactose should be avoided because they can react glycate surface lysine and arginine residues of proteins via the Hard reaction of aldehydes and primary amines et Humeny ct Agric Food Sucrose can hydrolyze to fructose and glucose under acidic conditions and Robinson and consequently may cause The polymer polyethylene glycol could stabilize proteins by two different temperature dependent At lower it is preferentially excluded from the protein surface but has been shown to interact with the unfolded form of the protein at higher temperature given its nature and Lee Biochemistry Thus at lower temperatures it may protect proteins via the mechanism of preferential but at higher temperatures possibly by reducing the number of productive collisions between unfolded molecules PEG is also a cryoprotectant and has been employed in a formulation of recombinant Antihemophilic which utilizes PEG 3350 at a concentration of The low molecular weight liquid 300 600 can be contaminated with peroxides and cause protein If the peroxide content in the raw material must be minimized and controlled throughout its The same holds true for In a particular embodiment of present a stabilizer a combination of is added to formulation to prevent or reduce or aggregation and chemical A hazy or turbid solution upon reconstitution indicates that the protein has The term means an excipient capable

pharmaceutically stable and elegant In another the mannitol concentration is Surfactants Protein molecules have a high propensity to interact with surfaces making them susceptible to adsorption and at and This degradation pathway has been observed to be inversely dependent on protein concentration and result in either the formation of soluble and insoluble protein aggregates or the loss of protein from solution via adsorption to surfaces addition to container surface degradation is exacerbated with physical as would be experienced during shipping and handling of the Surfactants are commonly used in protein formulations to prevent induced Surfactants are amphipathic molecules with the capability of competing proteins for interfacial Hydrophobic portions of the surfactant molecules occupy positions while hydrophilic portions of the molecules remain oriented towards the bulk At sufficient concentrations around the critical micellar a surface layer of surfactant serve to prevent protein molecules adsorbing at the degradation is The most commonly used surfactants are fatty acid esters of and HO The two di fer only in the length of aliphatic chain that imparts hydrophobic character to and is more and has a lower critical micellar concentration than The surfactant poloxamer has also been used in several marketed liquid products such Norditropin and Ovi Detergents can also affect the thermodynamic conformational stability of the effects of a given excipient will be protein For polysorbates have been shown to reduce the stability of proteins and increase the of Detergent destabilization proteins can be rationalized in terms of the hydrophobic tails of the detergent molecules that can engage in specific binding with partially or wholly unfolded protein These types of interactions could cause a shift in the conformational equilibrium towards the more expanded protein states increasing the exposure of hydrophobic portions of the protein molecule in complement to binding if the protein native state exhibits some hydrophobic detergent binding to the native state may stabilize that I Another aspect of polysorbates is that they are inherently susceptible to oxidative as raw they contain sufficient quantities of peroxides to cause oxidation of protein residue especially The potential for oxidative damage arising from the addition of stabilizer emphasizes the point that lowest effective concentrations of excipients should be in For the effective concentration for a given protein will depend on the mechanism of has been postulated that if the mechanism of surfactant stabilization is related to preventing on the effective concentration will be around critical micellar if the mechanism of stabilization is associated specific the effective surfactant concentration will be related to the protein concentration and the stoichiometry of the interaction el Pharm Surfactants may also be added in appropriate to prevent surface related aggregation

stabilize the native state of proteins by binding to charged residues on the they can stabilize the denatured stEile by binding to the peptide groups along the protein backbone can also stabilize the protein native conformation by shielding repulsive electrostatic interactions between residues within protein Electrolytes in protein formulations can also shield attractive electrostatic interactions between protein molecules that can lead to protein aggregation and effect of salt on the stability and solubility of proteins varies significantly with the characteristics of the ionic Hofmeister series originated in the as a way to rank order electrolytes based on their ability to precipitate proteins et Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics 241 in this the Hofmeister scries is used to illustrate a scale of protein stabilization effects by ionic and co in Table are ordered with to their general effects on solution state from stabilizing to destabilizing in the differences in effects across the anions are far greater than that observed f the for both the effects are most apparent at higher concentrations than are parenteral concentrations of kos o tropes molar ammonium are commonly used to precipitate proteins from solution by a process called where the is preferentially excluded from the protein surface reducing the solubility of the protein in native Removal or dilution of the salt

concentrations of the will favor the denatured stale conformation of the protein as the solubility of the peptide chain The relative effectiveness of ions to and defines their position in the Hofmeister In order to maintain isotonicity in a parenteral salt concentrations are generally limited to less than for monovalent ion In this concentration the mechanism of salt stabilization is probably due to screening of electrostatic repulsive intramolecular forces or attractive forces Huckcl chaotropic salts have been shown to be more effective at stabilizing the protein structure than similar concentrations of kosmotropes by this The chaotropic are believed to bind more strongly than the With respect to covalent protein differential effects of ionic strength on this mechanism are expected through published reports of protein stabilization by sodium chloride are accompanied by those where sodium chloride accelerated covalent mechanisms by which salts affect protein stability are protein and may vary significantly as a function of solution pH An example where an excipient can useful in enabling the delivery of a protein drug is that high concentration antibody salts have shown to be effective in reducing the viscosity of such formulations Erratum Pharm j Amino acids Amino acids found versatile use in protein formulations as bulking stabilizers and Histidine and glutamic acid are employed to buffer protein formulations in the pH range of and The imidazole group of histidine has a and the carboxyl group of glutamic acid side chain has a pKa of which makes suitable for buffering in their respective pH most commonly used buffer in the acidic pH range of sublimates during and hence should not be used in Glutamic acid is particularly useful in such cases is commonly found in marketed protein formulations It provides a good alternative to a buffer known to sling upon injection histidine has also been reported to have a stabilizing effect on with respect to aggregation when used at high concentrations in both liquid and lyophilized presentations et Pharm Histidine to 60 was also observed to reduce the viscosity of a high concentration formulation of this in the same the authors observed increased aggregation and discoloration in histidine containing formulations during studies of the antibody in stainless The authors attributed this to an effect of iron ions leached from corrosion of steel Another note of caution with histidine is that it undergoes in the presence of metal ions el Biochemistry The use of as an in formulations appears it has been observed to be effective against a number of oxidative stresses et Pharm Sci 5 The amino acids serine and alanine have been shown to stabilize proteins by the mechanism of preferential Glycine is also a commonly used bulking agent in lyophilized formulations a crystallizes out of the frozen amorphous phase giving the cake structure and Arginine has been shown to be an effective agent in inhibiting aggregation and has been used in both liquid and lyophilized formulations the enhanced efficiency of refolding of certain proteins in the presence of arginine has been attributed to its suppression of the competing aggregation reaction during Antioxidants Oxidation of protein residues arises from a number of different Beyond the addition of specific the prevention of oxidative protein damage involves the careful control number of factors throughout the manufacturing process and storage of the product such as atmospheric light and chemical The most commonly used pharmaceutical antioxidants are reducing chelating Antioxidants in therapeutic protein formulations must be and remain active throughout the product Reducing agents and scavengers work by ablating active oxygen species in Chelating agents such as EDTA can be effective by binding trace metal contaminants that promote For EDTA was utilized in the liquid formulation of acidic fibroblast growth factor to inhibit the metal catalyzed oxidation of cysteine EDTA has in marketed products like and addition to evaluating the effectiveness of various excipients at preventing protein formulation scientists must be aware of the potential for the antioxidants themselves to induce other covalent or physical changes to the A number of such eases have been reported i the Reducing agents can cause disruption of intramolecular disulfide which can lead to disulfide In the presence of transition metal ascorbic acid and EDTA have been shown to promote methionine oxidation

formulations that involve more than one extraction from the same Their primary function is to inhibit microbial growth and ensure product sterility throughout the or term of use of the drug Commonly used preservatives include benzyl phenol and Although preservatives have a long history the development of protein formulations that includes preservatives can be Preservatives almost always have a destabilizing effect on and this has become a major factor in limiting their use in protein formulations et 96 To most protein drugs have been formulated for when formulations are they have the added advantage of enabling patient and increased A good example that of human growth hormone where the development of preserved formulations has led to commercialization of more injection pen At least four such pen devices containing preserved formulations of hGH arc currently available on the Novo Nutropin Genotropin dual chamber Pharmacia contain phenol while is formulated with Several aspects need to be considered during the formulation development of preserved dosage The effective preservative concentration in the drug product be This requires testing a given preservative the dosage form with concentration ranges that confer effectiveness without compromising protein For example three preservatives were successfully screened in the development of a liquid formulation for receptor using differential scanning calorimetry The preservati es were rank ordered based on their impact on stability at concentrations commonly used in marketed products Jr et As might be development of liquid formulations containing preservatives are more challenging than products can without the preservative and reconstituted with a preservative containing diluent at the time of This shortens the for which a preservative is in contact with protein significantly minimizing the associated stability With liquid preservative effectiveness and stability have to be maintained over the entire product life An important to note is that preservative effectiveness has to be demonstrated in the final formulation containing the active drug and excipient Some preservatives can cause injection site which is another factor that needs consideration when a clinical trials that focused on the evaluation of preservatives and buffers In Nordi pain perception was observed to be lower formulations containing

confirmed by close correspondence of the relative amount dimer at a given pH irrespective of the type of dimer did not increase significantly as evidenced by The exception were the samples sucrose and which showed increase in In the presence of sucrose the main peak loss was minimal even after buffer for succinate and histidine formulations with pH i and Compared to all phosphate formulations showed loss the main peak prior to the cake was formed even in the absence of both sucrose and the corresponding main peak dropped by compared to the formulations in reconstitution of formulations was much longer and required some In order to ensure robustness of the cake mannitol or glycine were included as bulking agents all subsequent formulations even though sucrose alone was shown to confer sufficient protein 3 binding peptide narrow pH Screen at 30 The stability was assessed primarily by and which were at elevated Since recovery the main peak was higher at pH 5 and the phosphate buffer

stability data was generated at to assess stability of binding Increase in pH results in the loss of the main peak for all histidine Only generic formulations were monitored up to 6 but the advantage of the pH was already obvious for the and data for the generic formulations suggests that formulations are more stable than especially at pH 6 and in the case of glutamate and succinate formulations there was also a clear increase in the amount of main degradation as pH becomes less Similar pH dependence is seen for the The highest recovery of the main peak was observed for pH 5 and of the main peak for can be explained by protein degradation during buffer exchange and concentrating as evidenced by a similar loss the formulations prior to stability data that glutamate formulations had higher physical stability than succinate counterparts the same has to be noted that in this study we also tested effect of increased sucrose concentrations on the stability of succinate In addition to we compared and sucrose formulations in pH The increase in sucrose decreased molecular weight to some but it did not significantly affect the amount of the main sucrose was considered optimal since such formulations most closely matched with physiological One of clip specie was observed growing at low pH by A significant portion of the dipping in the formulations occurred prior to as a result of buffer exchange and protein concentrating After lyophilization no significant increase in the amount of clips was observed even after to storage at In general the data suggests using higher pH formulations to mitigate the clipping since it is unobservable at pH 6 and the amount of the dimer is significant at higher pH and may be as high as at pH 6 a compromise can be found in formulating 3 binding peptide at pH where clippi g is especially in the glutamate and histidine and when the dimer formation is still sufficiently Conclusion mannitol and sucrose have provided sufficient cake and protein stability as confirmed by study at sucrose at pH 5 0 mM sucrose at pH can be used for formulating 30 binding In this study shows that 20 mM sucrose at pH also performs well and can be considered as a possible generic formulation for Example 10 binding peptide In order to determine the optimal formulation for lyophilized binding analyses were earned out that assessed binding peptide
